what is your opinion on plant based plastics?

There was a time in life when there was very little plastic used. So yes, we could go back. But would it be worth it. It's better to reuse plastic instead of putting it in our landfills.

And I couldn't do my hobby of polymer clay crafting! Screw that, too much stuff would be gone. I'm not gonna play this game! They can go live on an uncharted desert island somewhere with no plastic. Or gas stoves, or electric stoves for that matter. These ppl never THINK.

I agree. BUT we all do, including you. We have no choice. Even the “recyclable” plastics we diligently save, mostly end up in landfill, oceans…..

disposing of plastic isnt the problem, not recycling plastic is the problem

I think disposing is somewhat of a problem. Reusing (and not buying new) should be a much bigger focus, rather than assuming recycling will fix the issue.

But they also need to have recycling available. In my area we don’t have recycling and the closest is an hour drive.

That means she did not properly formulate a response or give any thoughts to how others would reply to her initial statement about ALL plastics, which was her initial intent. Also, once he pointed out her fallacy, she quickly changed her tune. Suddenly, her argument changed to "single use plastics." This word was never in her vernacular and was not evoked during her initial statement. She was clear in her intent. She would not have been challenged on her statement to remove all plastics had her framing been correct to begin with. I am calling bullshit on a otherise bullshit argument. OP was correct.

How does this nut job even make it to a hearing? Have we gone mad as a country?

He didn't hear her out then started ranting about that her glasses were made of plastics (which he didn't even know, the frame might as well have been made of metal material), then he assumed the lid on the bottle was plastic (which he didn't know) further interrupting her. She was going to discuss the issues of using single use plastics, which is a BIG problem for nature and humans. An alternative material for single use plastics I would say is hemp plastic, a material that is more robust and durable and decomposes MUCH faster (less than 200 days instead of single use plastic which can take 20 to 500 YEARS, and then you have the microplastics which most people probably consume every day). This guy is most likely corrupt and probably paid by the oil industry.

Yeah, this guy didn't even know we had eyeglasses for centuries before plastic was invented. What a idiot.

No, it's not. This guy looks like he's been compromised by lobbyists. It is very easy to replace a significant amount of plastic things with other resources. Many things we have today never used to have plastic in them but now do not because we needed them but because it's cheaper or profitable. Plastics also have a significant detriment to our health and ecosystem. He was just asking ridiculous questions. Of course eliminating plastics is unrealistic.

@@O1OO1O1 Funny how you say lobbyists. Yet, environmental activists created this mess by demanding more plastic because they thought it would be recycled endlessly. Now, they're blaming the very people they wanted to create more plastic use.

More like confronting ignorance with even more ignorance. Biodegradable plastics can be made from the cellulose of plants like cannabis, & wasted corn stalks. Big Oil donors apparently didn't inform you, or the Representative of this 'fact'.😏

Here, I want to add some context that was left out of this. Eliminating single use plastics is probably a good idea. I'm in my early 50's, when I was a kid, I purchased sodas in glass bottles, the deposit on the bottle was 10 cents (which was a significant part of the purchase). The bottle was returned for the deposit, it was collected, washed, refilled and redistributed. Just like a drinking glass at a restaurant is. The plastic and aluminum soda bottles you get? They are RARELY actually recycled. They are collected, and generally dumped into a landfill. What's wrong with paper cartons for milk or even water? Milk jugs used to be glass, but that was before my time. That was phased out in the 1960's. We are NOT going back to a time that doesn't use any plastics. It's just not realistic, but we can trivially get rid of single use plastics, and we probably should. They have a bunch of plasticizers in them which are endocrine disruptors - i.e. they mess with your hormones. Even aluminum cans do this, they are actually aluminum cans with a THIN lining of plastic in them. That's why beer 20 years ago in a can didn't taste the same as beer in a glass bottle. Now it largely does.

She's the single issue environmentalist ... as if dealing with single use containers will solve all our problems. She's horribly naive.

@@fuzzywzhe We dont use paper cartons because 1 its not recyclable and 2 its harmful for the environment due to the chemicals needed to make it useful and 3 they still use plastic.

@@vikinglife6316 We don't use paper cartons because plastic is cheaper. Plastic milk jugs are NOT really recyclable. Look, we used to ship all this plastic to China, China being a communist nation, would then put people to work sorting the plastics, then the plastics would be cut up, and shipped as a substitute for "new" plastic. China stopped doing this when they realized that the subsidies to do this exceeded the amount of money they could get selling the recycled plastic, they were operating at a loss the entire time. Milk cartons do not use plastic. They use wax. Or they used to, maybe they use a thin coating of plastic now? Been a while since I've bought milk. If the point is to sequester carbon, you know what should be done with used milk cartons? Well, a milk carton is basically wood, which is turned into paper cardboard, which is mostly carbon and hydrogen. You bury it, that's "sequestering".

Yeah, like she was going to go against the flow.
